shut up and take notes!

According to BBC News the people who surround Kim Jong Un and take notes are there wherever the supreme leader goes and they write down everything he does, even the jokes are recorded. The reason for all this is to portray the leader as all powerful and all knowing, he can often be seen giving advice on a wide array of tasks including giving a pilot a pep talk, this portrayal of power, knowledge and wisdom make the population see him as a great leader, although many would disagree.
